March...Hoping for some Irish luck to bring us little Charms

[floridasian]

Yeah,I understand that. I wasn't really expecting an ultrasound or anything so early, I just wish they'd bring me in for blood work or something so I know my numbers are where they should be. Having pcos and it taking so long to just get pregnant makes me nervous. I'll just try to distract myself these next couple weeks. Lol.

Who is your reading from, beaglemom? I love reading readings! Lol. I was thinking about getting another one now that I got my BFP and see what they say now.

Oh I didn't know that they didn't check your beta! That is annoying. Mine was checked twice (to make sure it doubled) before sending me to wait another three weeks for an ultrasound, but at least they did their due diligence.

 

[allisonmh]

Yeah, exactly, I hear about everyone going in for tests before their actual ultrasound. I'm hoping my REs office will bring me in, but they haven't called me back yet!

Savvy, I started the progesterone on Saturday when I got the BFP. The nurse at my OBs office confirmed I will take it until 16 weeks.

And I can't wait for your reading, beaglemom! If you choose to share it that is! : )

Thanks Allison!

By the way...it just popped into my head...when you had your reading back in December didn't Cheri22 tell you that you would conceive, find out or deliver in December? Not sure of how far along you are but your reading sounds pretty accurate!

For those of you who don't know, I am an assistant to 2 bankers. One is technically my boss. Although soon some restructuring will change that...but anyways...he is the male. My other banker is a woman. Well she just announced she is leaving...& I am SO EXCITED! She is so dramatic & so childish...it's like working with a 13 year old. Always spreading rumors, causing drama...she complains about work even though she barely does anything. Then says how she doesn't need this job. So now I am sure she thinks everyone will actually care she is leaving. I just know my other banker is happy to be rid of her. But it will be a hassle going through the steps of replacing her.

Anyways...not baby related...but I told my husband maybe I do have some St Patrick luck this month...maybe it will spill over to the TTC world. I have also been hoping she would be gone before my pregnancy announcement. Wish granted!

 

[savvysaver]

Awesome news beaglemom!! I know you mentioned her before and it is great to hear that you won't have to worry about her anymore. Now a little St. Patrick's luck for your bfp!

Update on me. I am cd12 no + opk yet! I am going hopefully tonight to get a digital opk because the lined ones confuse me! If I think it is close I will confirm with the digital.
And I called about having a laparoscopy done for my blocked right tube and cyst on my left. It has been 4 months with this RE and he said he wanted to do a couple rounds of trying before we went straight to surgery. Well....this is the 4th cycle. If I don't get a BFP I want the surgery over the schools Spring Break that way I don't have to take time off. I told the nurse that I don't want to waste anymore time. She agreed and asked the doctor who confirmed. I am so ready for a BFP! But now I am scared for the surgery. In my head I was thinking be more proactive/aggressive with this. Now, I am thinking "why did I just do that?! Am I ready to have this surgery? What if he finds nothing wring with my right tube?" Its the fear talking..I should be happy but just can't yet.

I know exactly what you mean. As much as I preach about moving forward, every little step I take scares me. But once I am in, I feel fine. Like the 2nd IUI I was just chatting away to the nurse & doctor...she did her thing & that was it. I read on another thread someone scared because the IUI would embarrass her. No different than a pap...just not as painless as a pap. It helps my husband is helping to push me forward if I need it. It also helps that there is a clock in my head counting down to my next birthday...& I know things have to get moving.

I also have the ovidrel shot that I paid 115 for and may go bad before May when we will be able to try again. So might just take it on my own on the same day he has told me to before if it goes bad before May.

 

[allisonmh]

Misaacs, I've read that a lot of people use ovidrel without being monitored so it can't hurt to just use it when you get a positive OPK. It's worth a shot rather than it going bad, I know how expensive those damn shots are!

And just got a call back from my RE, I'm going in tmrw morning for my blood work. Yay yay yay!!!! I'm so relieved!

 

[beaglemom]

That's great Allison.

No call back from my dr office about my blood work Usually it is the same day. Hopefully tomorrow.

 

[moni77]

glad you are getting the blood work done!

AFM - woke up with a 102 temp this morning and had to take cold meds to gt through the day. (I'll prob have to do the same tomorrow too.) now I'm worried any chance I had this cycle is gone....

 

[savvysaver]

Allison, that is great news!

Beaglemom, waiting is the hardest...hope they call you first thing tomorrow with the results.

Moni, I am sorry you aren't feeling well! Especially with a very high temp. My hubby has some sinus thing going on and he came home from work to go back to bed. I think he has only taken 2 sick days in the past 12 years...so I know he is sick! Hopefully you will feel better tomorrow, it doesn't look like you O'd yet so hopefully the egg will stay safe until you are feeling better. Get some rest!

 

[Curlymikes]

Got a blood test today.... Positive!!!! They also checked my betas but i wont find out til tomorrow. Praying this one sticks. Yesterday i had minute pink spotting and i was freaking out, i am hoping its still from implantation. I hope everyone else gets lucky this month too!

 

[moni77]

I definitely oed - I took the ovidrel shot on Thursday - my chart just doesn't reflect it because of the fever. I didn't even bother putting in todays number....

 

[sarahok]

Hi all! So glad for the BFPs!! So encouraging.

Erin, thanks for thinking of me. I've also been trying to stay busy with other stuff so TTC doesn't put me in a bad place emotionally (especially since I've been out the last couple of months), but still enjoy keeping up with you ladies!

AF should turn up on the 14th (which is, to the day, when the doc said we could start back "nookie"...hubby will not be happy lol). He gets his SA on Friday, and I am really excited to see what those results are. I feel like that will give me so much more direction as to what to do next.

If it's good, I think I will continue what I'm doing. I've been trying to be super healthy, doing yoga 4-5 times a week, even doing some essential oils. I have also started taking EPO capsules. I considered trying Fertilaid after Alison got her BFP with it, but I read so many reviews saying it messed up people with regular cycles that I don't think I will. Also, I'm pretty sure I'm going to see a specialist in acupuncture and chinese medicine.

If his SA is bad, then I think we will go on to a few rounds of IUI, and talk to the doctor about whether to do Clomid or something also...not sure since I seem to be normal and ovulating. I don't thing my obgyn does IUI, so I may start seeing a RE. Anyway, that's what's going on with me lately. Always thinking of you all in your individual circumstances and always wishing for the best!

 

[beaglemom]

Moni, not sure how the fever effects everything...but try to take some Tylenol to break it. Tylenol is safe when you are pregnant. Try to stay positive. Besides, the IUI puts the boys in a better position anyways.

Sarah, good luck with the SA. I have checked out to be ok so far & I am on 50 mg clomid with the IUI. I think it is pretty typical to be on something. I hope your gyno does it because an RE may go through the whole works of ultrasounds & all that. I am okay with a few cycles just using the opk. I really hope your husband is on board to move forward if his results are not good. I know he is sort of in denial & hesitant. Also if his results are low, go ahead with the fertility blend. I don't know of anything else that could have effected my husband besides that. I don't know if you saw, but the last IUI his count went to 44 from 12 million...post wash was 4 million compared to 1 million before.

 

[misaacs117]

allisonmh The shot actually makes me ovulate because I O late...For whatever reason. So I was going to use it to make me O since I thought it was going to go bad. But it doesn't until August so I am just going to save it! So happy that worked out!

 

[beaglemom]

Still no call back from my doctor, so I have left the office a message. 1 hour until they close...maybe I will get a call before then.

 

[moni77]

fever broke about 3am. back at about 100 now. trial is over (I won! even with the fever haze) and so I am trying to make a doctors appointment for tomorrow.
